Barton Goodwin is a Co-Founder and Managing Director at Cypress Growth Capital, a Dallas-based venture firm he launched in 2010 with Ed Mello after spending 16 years as a Managing Partner at Computer Sciences Corporation and serving as an executive at nGenera. The firm targets emerging and expansion-stage software and technology-enabled services companies, with a distinctive thesis focusing on underserved markets outside traditional coastal hubs like San Francisco and New York. Cypress typically invests $1 million to $5 million in “tweener stage” companies generating $5 million to $15 million in revenue, acting as a lead investor while actively supporting portfolio growth. While the search results do not list specific named portfolio companies or detail Goodwin’s lead-versus-follow behavior explicitly, the firm has made 56 investments over 14 years with a focus on royalty-based growth capital for tech firms. Goodwin’s distinctive point of view centers on backing operators in non-coastal regions, leveraging his 30+ years of experience in IT growth initiatives, mergers, and consulting to guide companies through scaling challenges.
